Duplicating a page in WordPress can be done in multiple ways, depending on whether you want to use a plugin or do it manually. Here are the easiest methods:

Method 1: Using a Plugin (Recommended)

Using a plugin simplifies the process and ensures that everything, including metadata and page settings, is copied.

1. Install a Plugin

Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
Search for a plugin like:
- Duplicate Page
- Yoast Duplicate Post
- Duplicate Page and Post
Click Install Now and then Activate.

2. Duplicate the Page

Go to Pages > All Pages.
Find the page you want to duplicate.
Click Duplicate or Clone (depending on the plugin).
A new draft copy of the page will appear in your pages list.

Method 2: Manually Copy and Paste

If you prefer not to use a plugin, you can copy the content manually.

1. Open the Page

Go to Pages > All Pages.
Click Edit on the page you want to duplicate.

2. Copy the Content

Select all the content (Ctrl + A or Cmd + A).
Copy it (Ctrl + C or Cmd + C).

3. Create a New Page

Go to Pages > Add New.
Paste the content (Ctrl + V or Cmd + V).
Adjust settings, title, and permalink as needed.

Method 3: Duplicate via Functions.php (For Developers)

If you are comfortable with code, you can add a duplication function to your theme.

1. Add This Code to `functions.php`

Go to Appearance > Theme Editor and open functions.php. Add this snippet:

php

function duplicate_post_as_draft() {

global $wpdb;

if (!(isset($_GET['post']) || (isset($_POST['post']) || (isset($_REQUEST['action']) && 'duplicate_post_as_draft' == $_REQUEST['action'])))) {

wp_die('No post to duplicate has been supplied!');

}

$post_id = (isset($_GET[‘post’]) ? absint($_GET[‘post’]) : absint($_POST[‘post’]));
$post = get_post($post_id);

if (isset($post) && $post != null) {
$args = array(
‘comment_status’ => $post->comment_status,
‘ping_status’ => $post->ping_status,
‘post_author’ => $post->post_author,
‘post_content’ => $post->post_content,
‘post_excerpt’ => $post->post_excerpt,
‘post_name’ => $post->post_name,
‘post_parent’ => $post->post_parent,
‘post_password’ => $post->post_password,
‘post_status’ => ‘draft’,
‘post_title’ => $post->post_title . ‘ (Copy)’,
‘post_type’ => $post->post_type,
‘to_ping’ => $post->to_ping,
‘menu_order’ => $post->menu_order
);

$new_post_id = wp_insert_post($args);
$post_meta = get_post_meta($post_id);

foreach ($post_meta as $key => $values) {
foreach ($values as $value) {
add_post_meta($new_post_id, $key, maybe_unserialize($value));
}
}

wp_redirect(admin_url(‘edit.php?post_type=’ . $post->post_type));
exit;
} else {
wp_die(‘Post duplication failed.’);
}
}
add_action(‘admin_action_duplicate_post_as_draft’, ‘duplicate_post_as_draft’);

2. Add a Duplicate Button

Add this to functions.php to display a “Duplicate” link:

Now, a “Duplicate” link will appear under each post or page.

Which Method Should You Use?

For beginners: Use a plugin (Method 1).
For occasional use: Copy-paste content manually (Method 2).
For advanced users: Add custom PHP code (Method 3).
